As the world continues to grapple with the potential consequences — and wider implications — of the United States-led military strike on Venezuela over the weekend, Prime Minister Mark Carney is heading to Paris for two days of high-level closed-door talks with “fellow members of the Coalition of the Willing” that, according to his office, will “accelerate efforts towards a negotiated peace for Ukraine, supported by strong security guarantees.”
The meeting is set to take place a little over a week after Carney hosted a brief tête-à-tête with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Halifax, where, as Canadian Press reports, Carney “announced $2.5 billion in financing and loan guarantees.”
